Thought it would be interesting to hear what everything holds as their swing thought on different clubs and/or shots. I am sure a bunch will say "a million things at once" (haha), but, maybe some of us have been lucky enough to narrow it down to just one pre-swing and one during the swing.
Here are mine: Driver - Head turned back behind the ball before I swing, long slow sweeping takeaway (it actually goes quick though haha), and I think "stay back" with my head and weight through impact. 3 wood - Sweeping take away, hit the inside back quadrant of the ball, good extension on the follow through. Irons - Make a small forward press to initiate the swing, smooth tempo, hit the inside back quadrant of the ball. At the top of the swing, I feel like I lock the hinge in my wrists. Wedges - Full shots: Hit down aggressively, hands go at the target for as long as they can after impact. Half wedges: Hinge and hold. Putter - Putt into the picture, keep the arc of the stroke the same as I feel when working with my Putting Arc. A lot of this happens naturally, but I try to only have one thought while swinging. If I have a swing issue I have identified and found a fix, that is always my swing thought of the moment and I trust the rest is engrained well enough. I need to head to bed since the game is almost over now, and a day at the office is coming too soon in the morning, but I'll get some different shot thoughts up tomorrow...like draw, fade, punch, stinger, one-hop-and-stop wedge, flop, etc. |

Today as I was playing my driver was a little off in the first three holes. On the 4th I felt a hinge or slight strain in my left shoulder but the ball went straight and left me with a short wedge shot. I told my buddy about it and he said he also gets a feeling in his left shoulder when he is coming down on his swing. I feels like letting loose a slingshot. Grip it and rip it!!!

I think my head gets a little too full of thoughts sometime, so I have been focusing more on doing a small check list before I pull the trigger. Grip, alignment, ball position, loosen the shoulders, GO. I try to keep my routine consistent (stand behind the ball, pick a target, extend club at 45 degrees, take grip, address ball and go through check list) and allow for as little time as possible for thought ninjas to sneak into my brain and start karate chopping. I have really struggled with the driver the past month, so I am in desperate search of something there to get back on track.
